Just a reminder when you weigh in each Thursday if you are using a name that is different than your forum alias please include it in the post. It makes my life easier if I don't have to figure out who you are each week.

Thanks.

Hey Larry! I am glad you surfaced, I wqas wondering where you were! I don't think you could be any nicer but you can try if you want to, lol.

I ate out a lot this weekend while out of town and was able to find lap appropriate foods at each restaurant.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Joan

Hi! I'm checking in today at 137

Okay, JulieG (nu2ywg) checking in today at 211.5, that's down 2.5! Yay! Only 3.5 lb from my goal for the month but boy oh boy it's a BUSY month. :blink:

Lucky Larry for the gym membership, that is fantastic! Joan, good for you on the eating out. I always have a bit of a tough time at restaurants, especially when we are eating with other people besides my nuclear family. For some reason, probably too much chit chat and not enough focus on chewing, I end up having a stuck-type episode. I don't usually have to throw up or anything but I usually get very uncomfortable and have to stop eating for several minutes and considering nobody but my husband knows I have had the surgery I usually excuse myself to get through it.

I hope everyone had a great week!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
